Those results underline a period of solid financial performance for Curbline, with the company posting significant growth year-over-year.

Implications
The juxtaposition of a maintained Underweight rating and the company’s recent strong operating results highlights a divergence between near-term financial momentum and the analyst’s valuation-based outlook. Market participants will likely weigh the reported growth in revenues and net operating income against the firm’s relative valuation and Morgan Stanley’s expectation of underperformance within its coverage set.
